No. I'm saying an atheist is not committed to believing the theory of evolution.

As has been pointed out, 1) there were atheists before the theory of evolution and 2) it is quite possible to be a theistic evolutionist.

3) there are plenty of atheists who don't understand or accept evolution.

5) It is not possible to be a Christian evilutionist, because God will not allow it. 😏

quite true, in fact a recent poll states that 25% of weekly church attendee's believe in theistic evolution.

I am speaking my belief about God. God has not given His authority to me. It is Yahshua (Jesus) that has been given all authority.

Yes, I've always believed in small changes over time within living systems;
however, I do not believe you will see drastic changes over time like going
from monkey to a human, or from having no life forms with sight to all the
eyes we see today. The godless system of beliefs around this support such
things, but I don't see how it is possible over coming every thing needed.

Got a better example?
People who believe Evolution took a simple life form over time turned into
all the life we see today is a matter of faith, filled with all types of beliefs
that people use to justify it.

There were atheists before biological evolution was even proposed in science. Evolution became a hypothesis to explain the differences between fossils found in different geological strata of rock, when the differences in geological strata came to be explained as indicative of the age of the strata. This suggested that the morphology of the animals and plants changed over time.
I'm quite sure they believe a lot of things about fossils, sort like a system
the way they put it all together, uh?

By 'the godless system of beliefs' you must be referring to 'science'. Its interesting that whenever we actually have a discussion about this, you sit back and repeat over and over 'I don't see how its possible', but refuse to actually listen to any explanations as to how it is possible. Its not that you don't see how its possible, its that you don't want it to be possible.

Intelligent Design is the new term in science that is replacing the false religion of evolution. Suck it up. He, he, he, he. 😀

can you name a scientific i.d. theory and can you show the science that proves it.

would you really call all the fossils and shared dna as faith? are the missing ape chromosomes that science predicted humans should have that were later found fused together in humans a matter of faith?

apparently you do not actually understand what intelligent design encompasses. I.D. does not mean that evolution did not happen, but rather It was an integral part of the greater plan.
